  "summary": "Ghanaian actress Nana Akua Addo's lawyers have stated that a domestic dispute involving her and her children, seen in viral videos, is now with the appropriate authorities. The videos, which show an alleged domestic dispute, were leaked without her knowledge or consent, according to a statement released by her lawyers on October 6, 2026.\n\nNana Akua Addo expressed concern over the circulation of the footage, particularly as some of the videos reportedly show one of her minor children. She appealed to media houses to refrain from publishing, reproducing, or sharing the videos to safeguard the privacy and wellbeing of her family.\n\nThe matter is currently before the courts and is sub judice. Nana Akua Addo thanked the Ghana Police Service for its timely intervention and expressed confidence in the ability of the courts to address domestic violence matters.",
